Can you describe a little more your problem and what you mean by TestDisk not working on truecrypt volume ?

On a NTFS formatted drive, I can use testdisk to recover files.
However, if I mount a NTFS formatted volume which is located inside a
TrueCrypt encrypted volume, testdisk does not work, however photorec does work though.
A TrueCrypt Volume can either be in a TrueCrypt file or an encrypted partition/device.
If you want to create a TrueCrypt file or encrypt a partition/device with TrueCrypt, instructions are here:

(Instead of a FAT filesystem, select NTFS.)
